Mosaic, it warms my heart to hear that you've had such great success! That's what I want for all the performers I work with.
Do you mind if I quote you when I tell people about what I do?
Thanks,
James
No problem go right ahead and quote - happy to help

Hi James,
I just purchased your CD after reading about it here on the forums. I had actually written my own script for self-hypnosis which has been really helpful so I am looking forward to gleaning more insights and a new perspective using your hypnosis session.
I'll write my thoughts on it when I receive and start using it.
Cheers!

When I got the idea to create this, I sat down with some belly dance instructors I've played music for in the past, and we talked about some of the major issues most students (and many teachers) face.
After a while we narrowed it down to four major areas that hypnosis is ideal for helping with: creativity in coming up with choreography (whether it's pre-planned or improvised), the ability to remember choreography, the ability to feel the rhythm and "dance with the whole body" (avoiding "phantom limb syndrome," "coat rack arms," and various other problems), and finally having charisma and confidence during performance. All of these are unconscious functions, so hypnosis is the perfect tool for working with them.
Additionally, I knew that different dancers would have different needs, so I created part of the session to be customizable, allowing the dancer to identify with and take on the qualities of a role model dancer, who can be the same or different each time.
There are also some suggestions involving practicing frequently (both mental and physical practice), finding dance perpetually new and fresh (so as to avoid staleness and getting stuck in a rut), and being fully involved in the dance, so as to feel joyous, fearless, and beautiful during performance.
